[IRCA] 750 KHWG and KOAL

["Albert Lehr" <aelehr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Since the first day that I heard them, KHWG 750 in Fallon, NV has 
been operating at about 20.2 to 20.8 Hz high.
   KOAL 750 in Price, UT is normally within a fraction of 1 Hz of their 
nominal frequency.  For over 5 years they have occasionally been jumping 
up to around +83 to +90 Hz.
   Now I am hearing KHWG running day and night on about 750.086 kHz.
   My speculation on what may have happened:  KHWG learned that they 
were off frequency.  Lacking a frequency counter, they went off the air, tuned 
a receiver to 750, and zero beat their exciter with the carrier of another station 
on 750.  Unfortunately, that station turned out to be KOAL during one of 
their excursions up to +86 Hz.  It is risky to clone another station's frequency.
